US President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that 'Zelensky will have to reach an agreement' to end the war in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that 'State security services neutralised a drone flying over government buildings (Parkowa) and the Belvedere (one of the president's official residences). Two Belarusian citizens were arrested. The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident'. This was announced on X by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

The tension on the eastern border of the Atlantic Alliance therefore remains very high. The president of the United States Donald Trump believes that thesanctions imposed by European countries against Russia are not strict enough, as they continue to buy Russian energy resources. "They are buying oil from Russia. So we cannot be the only ones in a total war. But Europe is buying oil from Russia. I don't want them to buy it, and the sanctions they're imposing are not tough enough," the US president said. 'I am willing,' he added, 'to impose sanctions, but they will have to toughen theirs commensurate with what I am doing.

China: 'From US coercion on new tariffs for Russian crude'

Trump's words and his exhortation to G7 and NATO countries to impose additional tariffs on Beijing for purchases of Russian crude oil in order to pressure China to play a role in the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict triggered a polemical reaction from China. China's 'normal economic and energy cooperation with countries around the world, including Russia, is legitimate, legal and beyond reproach', stressed Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian, pointing out that 'the US move is a typical act of unilateral bullying and economic coercion'.

Russia on drone in Romania: deliberate Ukrainian provocation

After a drone strayed into Romania's airspace, the Russian embassy in Bucharest spoke of a "deliberate provocation by the Kiev regime", accusing Ukraine of trying to drag European countries into a "dangerous military confrontation with the Russian Federation". According to the Russian chargé d'affaires in Romania, Oleg Lipaev, urgently summoned by the Romanian Foreign Ministry, 'there is no objective evidence to prove the Russian origin of the aircraft'. During the interview, which took place yesterday, the Romanian authorities were allegedly unable to provide any concrete information on the identity or origin of the drone which, according to Bucharest, temporarily violated national airspace on the evening of 13 September.

Russia thus rejects the accusations and points the finger at 'politically constructed' reactions and a broader context of 'media and military escalation' in which - it argues - Ukraine, faced with an 'inevitable military collapse', would attempt to manipulate international perceptions of the conflict in order to draw new actors into the armed conflict.

The Kremlin's stance is accompanied by a harsh lunge by Valdimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, according to whom "Nato is de facto involved" in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict over Western countries' support for Ukraine."Nato is de facto at war with Russia. This is obvious and requires no further proof," Peskov said according to Tass.

Poland: consider no-fly zone over Ukraine

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski stated that the issue of introducing a no-fly zone over Ukraine should be considered, but that Poland could only take such a decision together with its allies.

"We already discussed this idea a year ago, when Joe Biden was still US president. Technically, we, as Nato and as the EU, would be able to do it, but it is not a decision that Poland can make on its own, but only together with its allies," Sikorski said, commenting on the idea of introducing a no-fly zone over Ukraine in an interview with the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "If Ukraine asks us to shoot them down over its territory, it will be beneficial for us. If you want my personal opinion, then I think we should think about it," he added.

Meanwhile, on the ground Russian troops in Volchansk, where Ukrainian forces are putting up "fierce resistance", have advanced and strengthened their position on the left bank of the city, Russian security agencies told Tass. "In Volchansk, on the left bank of the Volchya River, the enemy is putting up fierce resistance and suffering heavy casualties. During the fighting, soldiers of the Northern Battle Group have advanced 200 metres, expanding their positions on the left bank of the city,' the agencies said. Earlier, security forces had reported that heavy fighting continued on the left bank of Volchansk and in the eastern part of the city, with the Ukrainian army redistributing reserves in those areas.

Russia halts talks
"In fact, we said there is a pause. This pause is evident," Putin's spokesman Dmitri Peskov said, responding to those who asked him if there was a stalemate in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. This was reported by Tass. Peskov went on to accuse the government of Ukraine, which is invaded by Russian troops, of "not being ready to have a really serious discussion. Appeals are being made for an immediate meeting, but, most likely, such appeals are aimed at an emotional impact,' the Kremlin spokesman said again, echoed by the Interfax news agency, apparently referring to a possible meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. "If such a meeting is held without preparation it will be completely useless. In turn, we say that such meetings, any contact at the summit level, should be well prepared so that the dialogue confirms the preparations made in advance at the expert level," Peskov said.
